I am still in the process of reading this book, but I will say that hundreds of pages -- ok, half of the book -- could've been saved if the tasting notes would've been left out. There are simply too many notes on too many wines. Living in the age of the internet, including this sort of information in a hard copy book is somewhat pointless. It would've been better to create a web database with these tasting notes that can be accessed by the reader, if desired. Personally, I was looking for a good, thorough book on Burgundy, with it's regions, vineyards, winemaking styles, etc. This book has all of that. However, the inclusion of so many tasting notes is overwhelming and seems like filler at times. Just hit on a few of the top producers and leave it at that next time.Get more detail about The Wines of Burgundy: Revised Edition.
